# Gyeongju dessert shop packing six mochi as travel gifts: Tareudang - By Jiwoo Nam (https://superchart.com/en/@dongseongno-warm-cup/) - Written Sep 21, 2026 - Local places › Cafés › Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@dongseongno-warm-cup/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@dongseongno-warm-cup/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi/index.md) ## In short Tareudang is a premium dessert takeout shop on Hwangnidang-gil in Gyeongju that makes and sells everything on the same day. A stop after lunch meant one yogurt mango rice cake, two yogurt peach rice cakes and three raw chocolate rice cakes packed to go — one raw chocolate each — and the yogurt mango and peach mochi were big enough to fill a palm. Tareudang is a good place to pick up both a Gyeongju travel gift and dessert to eat right away. ## Good to know - **Location**: 49 Sajeong-ro, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongbuk (Hwangnidang-gil) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–19:00, closes early once sold out - **Parking**: No dedicated lot · Hwangnam public parking 3 min walk, Daereungwon public parking 8 min walk, Bonghwangdae public parking 10 min walk - **Yogurt mango mochi**: 7,500 won - **Yogurt peach mochi**: 7,000 won - **Yogurt fig mochi**: 6,000 won - **Fresh musk melon mochi / thick green shine muscat mochi**: 6,500 won each - **Pineapple cream mochi / gold kiwi cream mochi**: 5,500 won each - **Raw chocolate mochi**: 6,000 won - **Seasonal menu**: Fresh red kiwi cream mochi 6,000 won, fresh Cara mandarin cream mochi 5,500 won, fresh strawberry cream mochi 5,500 won - **Shanghai butter rice cake**: 2,500 won - **Dried persimmon sando**: 1 piece 5,000 won / set of 6 29,000 won - **Discount**: 500 won off each piece when buying 4 or more - **Packaging**: Gift packaging and an ice box available with a Naver review *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* ![Featured photo of mochi desserts at Tareudang on Hwangnidang-gil, Gyeongju](https://img.superchart.com/images/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi-01-61sth-1200.webp) Festivals are in full swing across the country these days, right? They say Gyeongju is the number one domestic travel destination — is that true? 😊 If you're visiting Gyeongju, Tareudang, a dessert spot on Hwangnidang-gil, is a must-stop. Even Gyeongju locals go out of their way to visit. Here's my Hwangnam mochi takeout review. ## Tareudang on Hwangnidang-gil: the basics - 🚩Location: 49 Sajeong-ro, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongbuk, South Korea - ⏰Hours: daily 11:00–19:00 (may close early once ingredients run out) - Open as usual throughout the Chuseok holiday ## How to get to Tareudang, and where to park Tareudang is on the south side of the main Hwangnidang-gil street. Go straight past Ichini Sando and it's just down below. ![Map of Hwangnidang-gil showing Tareudang's location](https://img.superchart.com/images/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi-02-tzkrf-900.webp) 🅿️There's no dedicated parking lot. - ✔️Hwangnam public parking lot, 3-minute walk - ✔️Daereungwon public parking lot, 8-minute walk - ✔️Bonghwangdae public parking lot, 10-minute walk - You can also find a spot in the residential or shopping alleys if you're resourceful. ![Street view of Hwangnidang-gil near Tareudang](https://img.superchart.com/images/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi-03-p01fw-900.webp) ## What Tareudang looks like inside and out Tareudang has a cute, single-story building. ![Exterior of Tareudang's single-story building](https://img.superchart.com/images/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi-04-1e7bx-900.webp) ![Tareudang's storefront entrance and sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi-05-1rm07-m-900.webp) I visited right after lunch, and other people were already ordering ahead of me. Since they only make and sell that day's batch, some of the popular items were already gone. It's a premium dessert takeout specialist. We needed both a gift and something to eat right away — Tareudang was perfect for that! Thanks to the friendly staff. ## Tareudang menu and prices - Yogurt mango rice cake ₩7,500 - Yogurt peach rice cake ₩7,000 - Yogurt fig rice cake ₩6,000 - Fresh musk melon mochi ₩6,500 - Chewy green shine mochi ₩6,500 - Pineapple cream rice cake ₩5,500 - Gold kiwi cream rice cake ₩5,500 - Raw chocolate rice cake ₩6,000 - [Season menu] Fresh red kiwi cream mochi ₩6,000 - [Season menu] Fresh Cara mandarin cream mochi ₩5,500 - [Season menu] Fresh strawberry cream mochi ₩5,500 - Shanghai butter rice cake ₩2,500 - Dried persimmon sando box of 6 ₩29,000 - Dried persimmon sando ₩5,000 - ✔️₩500 off each when buying 4 or more ### The six mochi we bought at Tareudang - Yogurt mango rice cake x1 - Yogurt peach rice cake x2 - Raw chocolate rice cake x3 ![Boxed rice cakes packed to go from Tareudang](https://img.superchart.com/images/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi-06-19f7s-900.webp) Everyone in our group loves raw chocolate, so we ordered one each — it was the mochi I was most looking forward to. Packing and an ice box are available if you leave a Naver review. I was heading straight home so I skipped the packing, but if you're not eating it right away, definitely get the ice box. Turnover is fast, so you won't wait long. There's plenty to do around Tareudang. It's also great for exploring Hwangnidang-gil. If you walk around for a while your sugar might dip, and that's when a takeout box from Tareudang comes in handy for a quick rest stop. Try eating it with Cheomseongdae or Daereungwon in the background — it should give you a second wind. ![Tareudang's packed dessert carried around during a Gyeongju trip](https://img.superchart.com/images/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi-07-cpm9y-900.webp) From now on is the best time to travel Gyeongju day and night. Pack a snack to go and you can stop and recharge anytime. I highly recommend this as a date course on Hwangnidang-gil. ## How Tareudang's mochi tastes ![Size comparison of yogurt fruit rice cakes and raw chocolate rice cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi-08-1inwy-900.webp) Only the raw chocolate rice cake was small. The yogurt mango rice cake and yogurt peach rice cake were big enough to fill a palm. ![Palm-sized yogurt mango rice cake from Tareudang](https://img.superchart.com/images/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi-09-aoaoc-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the yogurt mango rice cake cut in half](https://img.superchart.com/images/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi-10-rcj3h-m-900.webp) ![Inside of the rice cake showing mango and yogurt cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi-11-3sdku-900.webp) ### Yogurt mango mochi 🎈The yogurt mango rice cake has that perfect, moderately chewy rice cake texture 👍 The sweetness of the mango plus the tang of the yogurt made it almost a shame to finish. Even writing this makes me want another one... I should go back soon. ![Yogurt peach rice cake with a whole peach inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi-12-v38xm-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the yogurt peach rice cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi-13-1o665-900.webp) ### Yogurt peach mochi 🎈The yogurt peach rice cake has a whole peach tucked inside, which is in season right now — how could it not be delicious. The combo of tangy yogurt and peach is a must-try. ![Carefully packaged raw chocolate rice cake from Tareudang](https://img.superchart.com/images/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi-14-wxyyg-900.webp) ![Raw chocolate rice cake with wrapping removed](https://img.superchart.com/images/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi-15-15rxt-900.webp) ![Small but heavy raw chocolate rice cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi-16-1e1eh-900.webp) ### Raw chocolate mochi 🎈The raw chocolate rice cake is small but heavy. Tareudang also seems to pack things really carefully. Unwrapping each one, you can feel the care put into the packaging — it just makes you happy. ![Raw chocolate mochi with a visible bite mark](https://img.superchart.com/images/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi-17-nmtvy-900.webp) Can you feel the chewiness? One bite and the tooth mark stayed right there. Chewy and sweet — exactly the perfect chocolate mochi I was hoping for. ## Is Tareudang worth a stop on Hwangnidang-gil? - ✔️For anyone who needs a Gyeongju travel gift - ✔️For anyone craving something special dessert-wise in Gyeongju - ✔️Made and sold the same day, so it's fresh ## Where it is - Tareudang (타르당) - 49 Sajeong-ro, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongbuk, South Korea - 경상북도 경주시 사정로 49 - 35.8367243, 129.208533 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%83%80%EB%A5%B4%EB%8B%B9/@35.8367243,129.208533,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@dongseongno-warm-cup/tarudang-hwangridanggil-gyeongju-mochi/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
